This past weekend Chris was able to hook us up with the Alt Hotel in Winnipeg. We were graciously welcomed into this new hotel and given a few areas to shoot in including the lobby, an entire reserved floor and were set up in a room as well. The hotel is located on Donald and Portage and is aesthetically pleasing with the use of bold colours, modern furniture and mix of materials. Chris, Dallas and myself spent the afternoon shooting with our homies Dean and Dan. All behind the scenes were taken by the Olé team. Thanks again to the good people of Alt for taking good care of us.

As we move into our last month of being settled in 255 Vaughan, Dallas and myself got to visit the shop for our first time. If you didn’t already know, Chris (1/3 of Olé) is also is in charge of Oak + Oar and manages the 255 Vaughan pop-up shop which will run until the end of 2015. Olé shares the store front with clothing company Oak + Oar and gallery From Here & Away. This past Sunday we ran a social club giving Winnipeg creatives the opportunity to gather into a space, share ideas and learn from one another over a Pic-a-Pop. So on that note, I want to give a quick shoutout to Handcraft Creative for their awesome visuals and Orange Bench who is onto something with their local idea. Thanks for coming through!

This past Sunday Dallas and myself set shop at Saskatoon’s Black Market Market. The event took place in an empty three room warehouse in the Riversdale area. The Black Market Market consisted of artists, artisans, businesses and food/drink vendors that have came up in the prairies. We shared a room with our homies at Creature Leather, Coldsnap Press, Thrive Juice, Road Coffee and more. We came through with both pairs of 306’s, our newest lookbook with unused photos and were stoked on the turn out. We’re really appreciative to mix into the community and have had the opportunity to talk to many of you who stopped by and said hi.

This past Sunday, I managed to catch Joey Visser play guitar for his brother’s band (Micah Visser). These guys are touring around Alberta and Saskatchewan and stopped by the Capitol in Saskatoon. If you don’t remember, Joey runs the media sharing community From Here & Away (read our interview here) and shot our first Fit To Live lookbook featuring the slub 15 oz denim. We got to talking over a beer with his so-far experience on the road, his music tastes which include one of my favourite radio services, Soulection and his experience with his 13 oz 306’s. I had to catch some images of him putting these jeans to work on stage, thanks for the shoutout on stage too.
